Agreed...
However when misinformation leads to wasted time and money that is not
a good thing.
Wasted time in converting everything to PCM
Wasted money in larger hard drives to store the large PCM files.

somewhere in his system ?
Regarding the "weird slow playback" ,that does not sound rigth at all

Hello,
16/44.1 stream as PCM, decompressed on the server, and fed t
The original topic of this tread is that Mike have problems putting out
24/96 to his DQEX unit.
Your problem seems a bit odd , it migth deserve it's own tread .
I never had problems outputting either flac or wav as 24/96 but the
idea that wav sounds better is audiophool Fud , very little basis i

Hmmm, there is some mix up here.
I do not own a DEQX.
I just got into this discussion because I want to stream 24/96 files as
PCM. Not FLaC, not WAV.
Do you think it is

If you haven't been able to stream your 24/96 files as flac then how do
you know that pcm "sounds much better" or are you just repeating
something you heard/read about pcm sounding better than flac
But the OP should not be to sad about it, removing a passive analog
filter out of a loudspeaker and be able to fine tune it's behaviur
makes magnitudes more difference, far more than the diff 24/48 to 24/96
could ever do.

Hi,
Do you mean that in order to be able to use the touch with 24/96 files
I need to stream them as is? Flac for instance?
Mmm, too bad. I am streaming them as PCM as it sounds much better.
Any trick?

Looking at the DEQX site it is unclear as to whether or not their
devices can accept a 24bit/88.2kHz or 24bit/96kHz input. I would try
checking with their customer support to get a definitive answer.

The Touch can output 24/88 just fine, but some DACs cannot receive it.
It seems strange but some designers just left out 24/88.2. My guess is
they had a DAC that could do 44.1 or 48 and the marketing department
said they had to do 96, so the engineers added 96, but since nobody
said they needed 88
Mike, i have the very same problem with my C.E.C DAC. By specification
(CS8414 and PCM1704) he can play 24bit 96kHz, but actually works only
with 24/44.
If you will have answer to your question, please share with me. Thank
you.

I also have the touch and DEQX. Haven't tried hi rez files yet. Have
you tried manually selecting digital input from the DEQX remote, or from
the control panel screen? The control panel screen has a box that shows
the input frequenc
I'm 99% sure it's the DEQX now.

The only way to prove your Touch is fine (which I think it is) is to
connect it to another DAC.
In the meantime, I'd contact DEQX...

Yes - it works for 24/44 and 24/48, but not 24/88.

No.
can you try other rates? - 24/44, 24/48, 24/88.2? (use dBPoweramp or
similar to convert files).
I presume you can connect the Touch to a DAC and it works fine @ 24/9
I'm having trouble playing 24 bit/96 khz FLAC files, but I'm not sure if
the problem is my Touch or something downstream.
I'm taking the digital coax signal out of the Touch, going into the
digital coax input of a DEQX unit (http://www.deqx.com/). It works fine
for 16 bit/44 khz FLAC files.
